I spent over 10 years using Pagemaker, then QuarkXpress, then InDesign, professionally, way-back-when,
so I'm a retired and experienced former professional graphic designer in desktop publishing...
I was the guy that used to make old-days "hard" look easy. That's Soooo great for me, right? However...
NOW, I am simply trying to use Scribus for a quick book production instead of defaulting to buying InDesign.
Point Being: I don't want to NEED to blow time learning, technically, something that (from experience) I KNOW
could just be included as a starter template:
A File With A Working TOC.
That's it.
No cherries or atoms or programming or importing or ANY male cow turds. No "here's how to waste hours making one yourself."
Just a pre-working template, that's all.
I feel confident that once someone makes one, that file can be reused and modified instead of re-inventing that wheel.
Does anyone have such a file as a "here-you-go" answer? If not, I don't believe it, because it means I'll be the first
to succeed at successfully creating a TOC in Scribus, and that doesn't sound right, does it? Just a template this simple:
-----
Chapter 1.....Page 1
Chapter 2.....Page 2
Chapter 3.....Page 3
-----
- with pages 1,2,3 following.
Then a person could just change, say, "Chapter 2" to "The Next One" and then add 7 pages to
that chapter, and then "Chapter 3" would of course automatically change Chapter 3's TOC page
number to 9.
I don't understand why such a file isn't simply available, and I don't want to "learn" right now,
I want to produce, then learn when I have time to do so.
If no one has one to share, maybe someone has one to sell? That's all I'm after for now.
Thank You.
